I've never been one who enjoys maintaining the status quo. I'm always pushing for new ideas, whether it's in business or philanthropy.

Philanthropy is activism.

Every artist is unreasonable, because he or she is doing something that hasn't been done before.

I never play golf because it takes too long, and the business connections it produces can be made just as easily over an early breakfast.

Collectors become obsessive and then addicted. You become addicted to art and you can't live without it.

I don't think it makes any sense for an individual to invest in common stocks unless they know the company, work at the company, and so on.

I have always believed that every great city in history needs a vibrant center.
